Why all the blogs?
I’ve been asked a few times, “why so many blogs, why not just one?” as if having lots of blogs is lots of trouble.
I guess that’d just be too disorganized for me. I like my blogs to tell stories and I like them to have different personalities. So I have them for different parts of my eclectic life. I have a general one, this is that. I have one for my sail boat, it started the blogging trend. I have one for my interest in printing and design, emphasizing my letterpress. I have one for the hobby I spend the most time (and money) on: video games. And I have one for my life’s work with Macintosh computers. I also maintain a .mac homepage of photo albums for my enjoyment of photography.
I have a few others too. That I either own, edit, or merely contribute. There’s the house blog for stories and things related to our flat in Hayes Valley. There’s the one for Mark and my impending wedding celebration. There’s the Politics & Cocktails group blog, also known as Hayes Street Working Group. And there’s an odd one devoted to our love of small fuzzy bears from the future.
And while I’m at it I’ll plug a couple blogs that my family and friends have. My partner Mark has a couple: a personal blog, a liberal politics blog, a blog of crazy urban drama, and a blog for his work in his dissertation. My friend derrick, is the king of blogs with his obsession with food blog read by thousands of people, and his smaller personal blog.
